his old rivals. antonio conte‘s side fortu nate to his old rivals. antonio conte‘s side fortunate to avoid conceding a spot kick of their own. it may have been diego costa in the limelight said under the radar ‘s the substitute. 0ur football reporter john bennettjoins us now. john — a great win for chelsea especially given atleti drew their first match in the competition. they take control of that group and they make history as well because they make history as well because the first team to beat atletico madrid at their all—new stadium, a state—of—the—art stadium and alvaro morata, a great form. we are talking about strikers like lukaku and harry kane. that was a wonderful win for chelsea. we are going to talk about celtic now because this is arguably even better, 3—0 win away at

anderlecht. we know they are so strong at home. they had to prove it in the champions league and they did that. leigh griffiths scored the first goal. he is in great form, his eighth of the season. they have only won one of their last 15 champions league games. this is the second goal. patrick roberts took a deflection but i think he will be claiming it. it is only their second away win in the champions league era. scott sinclair wrapping things up era. scott sinclair wrapping things up making things three. it is only the second group game brendan rodgers has won in his career in the champions league. the other one was with liverpool so he will be delighted with that result. fantastic result. manchester united have been in great form. they won 4-1 have been in great form. they won 4—1 against cska moscow. have been in great form. they won 4-1 against cska moscow. again, romelu lu ka ku was 4-1 against cska moscow. again, romelu lukaku was the star man. what a season romelu lukaku was the star man. what a season he is having so far. already, he has scored ten goals.

skill from killian embarked a witch was outrageous before the third goal. kids on the playground will be trying that tomorrow. roma are off the mark as well and barcelona needed an own goal to beat sporting lisbon. a bit of a struggle to get the victory but a win is a win for barcelona. a great evening for british clubs in europe. thank you for joining british clubs in europe. thank you forjoining us. england have taken the one day international series against west indies, thanks to a six run win via the duckworth—lewis method, after rain ended the 11th match early at the oval. it gives england an unassailable 3—0 lead with just one match to play. joe lynskey reports. this is the price you pay for autumnal cricket. a staring finish fixed in the by the rain. england had donejust fixed in the by the rain. england had done just enough to get over the line. for the west indies this has been a luckless series. evelyn lewis was finding all corners of the oval. england couldn't get him out until

this. —— evin lewis. the tourists had posted a hefty target. england's line—up was missing two stars. jason roy took his chance. the windies had victory in reach. it fell once again to moeen ali to rescue things. late i’u ns to moeen ali to rescue things. late runs as pressures here as they will be down under. this could have been a run chase to remember but when rain pours you take the past score. england werejust rain pours you take the past score. england were just six runs ahead. basher par score. english cricket has done well this summer but they will be glad to see the end of summer. there was somewhere in the region of 25 to 30 overs and we were gauging duckworth—lewis. everything was going to plan until we started

losing wickets. if it had rained 15 to 20 minutes earlier, we might have been a bit unstuck, but what a performance from moeen ali and jos buttler to rescue us and win the game and time it to perfection. i thought they were outstanding. eoin morgan and his england side had to make do without ben stokes. he has been named as captain for the ashes tour but footage has emerged of him involved in a physical exchange. he was arrested on monday morning on suspicion of causing actual orderly harm. he was released by police while investigations continue. the ecb are also conducting disciplinary proceedings over the matter. a peterborough postman will go from carrying the mail to carrying the bag of golf star sergio garcia after sending him tweets for 200 consecutive days. markjohnson has spent a dream day caddying for the famous spaniard at the pro—am event which precedes the british masters in the north east today. it was great, it was great. he was

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are iain martin, times columnist and editor of reaction, and the political commentator, lance price, formerly spin doctorfor tony blair. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us. the financial times leads with the labour leader's conference speech — saying his pledges on tax and rent have alarmed business and landlords. the guardian also headlines the speech, quoting mr corbyn saying that the tories are hanging

on by theirfingertips president trump is being threatened by prime minister may with a trade war over tariffs on aircraft firm bombardier — that's according to the telegraph. the same story dominates the front of the i — who say "so much for the special relationship". the sun goes with grainy images of england cricketer ben stokes — who was arrested following an incident outside a nightclub earlier this week. the daily express warns that millions of people with final salary pension schemes will only have a 50% chance of receiving their full pay—out. rya nair cancels christmas — that's the daily mail's take on the news of more cancelled flights by the airline. and finally the also focusing on ryanair saying the firm faces prosecution by the civil aviation authority for misleading passengers. let's start off with the metro. power to the people, lance. your old

boss tony blair, what would he have made ofjeremy corbyn, all that ideation that he was getting at the brighton conference? ideation that he was getting at the brighton conference ?|j ideation that he was getting at the brighton conference? i notice that someone dug up an old quote from tony blair in 1996 saying the one thing you don't have to worry about is that we will hand power tojeremy corbyn. how things have changed over that period of time! jeremy corbyn had the labour conference completely in his hand this week, undisputed in his position as leader, the first time he has been able to say that since he was elected leader the first time round. i was in brighton earlier in the week. it was an extraordinary sense, this kind of almost weird personality cult thing that was going on. but he has shown himself to be a much more competent speaker than he used to be. i think it was a well delivered speech and i have some doubts and i'm sure my old

boss tony blair would have some doubt about the content, but the fa ct doubt about the content, but the fact that it was presented and he has got himself on the front of almost every paper with his very arresting image, it did make me think if he had the food it is a bit sir alec guinness in star wars, isn't it? was he talking to the conference or the country or did he manage to do both? that is really good question. 0n manage to do both? that is really good question. on one level he is talking to the conference and there isa talking to the conference and there is a love affair going on in new labour party who love him. but i think it will have played quite well in the country. the guardian talks about him arguing that the centre ground in british politics has shifted and that the establishment media, represented i suppose by journalists like me, has got this wrong and the centre of gravity has shifted, and he might actually be right, if you look at the opinion polls. talking of the guardian, they have tories hanging on by their fingertips. is that how you see it, lance? i'm afraid i don't and one of the problems i had with the whole

conference and jeremy corbyn‘s speech was it seemed to be predicated on the fact that the tory government, weak as it is, is about to crumble and fall any minute and there is about to be a general election. it felt like a pre—election rally to me rather than a conference following an election defeat. there was far too little analysis of that. it was a bit trumped the list and self congratulatory, rather than recognising there is still heck of a long way to go before labour will be in government. does not impossible that the government will collapse but history suggests governments still managed to keep it to gather and do the full five years. even if it is not with theresa may as prime minister? fineman cried the tories could find a new prime minister col sorts of things could change. even after the worst little financial

crisis in recent years the labour government still served till 2010. and john major who did not have a majority saw it through until the end even after black wednesday and everything that went wrong for the tories then. you talk about how much support there was farjeremy corbyn, what have happened to the critics of him in the party, who used to make so much noise? have they
